Ejective is a subset of glottalized. The "tense" consonants of Korean, which are described as glottalized and often transliterated with an apostrophe modifier, are not ejectives. (I have the bad habit of pronouncing them as ejectives, since I first learned about the glottalization concept from practicing the Georgian alphabet.) ~Danny~
